He's a big fat liar! By 1952 there were many TV stations. However, there were many more cities than didn't broadcast that did.
"A U. S. Television Chronology, 1875-1970", doesn't even mention Arkansas at all.

When did radio and television come to Arkansas?
The first radio station, WOK in Pine Bluff, began broadcasting in 1921. Television station KRTV in Little Rock went on the air in 1953.
